!!!MAN!!! it's warm today!!! But I did get the driver's side mirror done on the "neu" 97 RAM. Both mirrors fold in at about 50 mph AND THERE IS NO external adjustment. THANKS!!! for NOTHING!!!! Fiat!!!! So here's the fix
Top photo: Book says remove the inner panel, but I was able to remove the top screw and just bend it out enough, to get a ratchet and 10mm in there and remove the three nuts
Second photo: you COULD tighten them AFTER you remove the mirror and AFTER you remove three more screws from the rear to get the outer trim cover off!!! But these seemed about ready to strip and or bottomed out. THANKS!!! CHRYSLER!!!!
Third photo: doesn't show much. Ground some webbing out to access the bolt holes and then drilled through the bottoms with a tap drill for a 12-24 tap
Fourth photo: After drilling through the holes, remounted the outer trim and drilled back out through the outer trim in the top front hole. This will be reamed for screwdriver access
Fifth photo: Just run a 12-24 tap all the way through the holes
Sixth and Seventh photo: Test fitting the thing with new screws. Just have to trim to length
Eighth and Ninth photo: Trimming screws to length and test fitting
Tenth photo: Tightened both bottom screws down fairly tight, as well as the top right. The top left through the hole then becomes tension adjustment.
WHY CHRYSLER!!!! COULD YOU NOT HAVE DONE THIS?????
